90 AUG. R. GROTE. 



ish shade at internal angle with a discal mark and superposed costal blackish 

 shade. Thorax beneath pale grey. Above the corporal tufts are deep ferru- 

 ginous; anal hairs pale. Abdomen dark above; segments with pale edges. 

 Above the veins of primaries tend to be picked out by pale scales. Expanse, 

 26 m. m. Length of body, 9 m. m. 



Habitat. — New York; Andover, Mass.; "on fence with folded 

 wings like Tettices (orthoptera)" — Sanborn. 



PIIYPROSOPUS, Grote. 

 Forewings with straight costal margin, entire; external margin 

 rounded, oblique; the internal angle rounded; the wing is elongate, 

 rather narrow, full outwardly posteriorly about median nervules. A 

 submedian fold discontinued exteriorly. Veins 4 and 5 approximate 

 at base, 5 from extremity of median vein, 3 a little removed. Cell 

 open ; a small accessory closed cell, its upper margin not angulated ; 

 from its lower angulation vein 6 is thrown off straightly opposite 5 to 

 external margin ; 7 and 8 arise together from its outer end, 7 to ex- 

 ternal margin,. 8 to apex. 9 out of 8 shortly to costa; 5, 6, 7 divaricate. 

 Subcostal nervules aggregated ; 10 out of upper margin of accessory 

 cell, very near 9 ; 11 out of subcostal nervure opposite 2. Hind wings 

 with costal edge a little sinuate or centrally depressed, rising to rounded 

 apices. Median vein 3 branched ; 5 indepeudant, 3 and 4 together, 

 2 thrown off much within the middle, nervules long. Squamation 

 close and dense. Head with a dependant frontal tuft. Labial palpi 

 projected straightly forward beyond the head, second joint thickly 

 scaled, terminal joint slender, continuous with second, finely scaled, 

 acuminate. Legs finely scaled with slender spurs. Antennae % rather 

 long, shortly bi-serrate, the serratures diminishing gradually to tips. 

 Abdomen a little longer than hind wings, linear. 



PIiyi>rosopns eallitrichoides, Grote. — %. — Fuliginous or purplish 

 ferruginous, primaries with mottled pale scales, a purple reflection terminally. 

 T. a. line pale, angulatad on disc, obsolete superiorly; below the angulation 

 very oblique, even, joining the internal margin near the base. Reniform ob- 

 soletely indicated by superposed dark dots. T. p. line very distinct, pah-, even, 

 a little bent. This line runs inwardly obliquely from apex to internal margin 

 at the middle. It is geminated below to vein 7, at which point the inner line 

 runs narrowly back to costa above the reniform. This inner line is the true 

 t. p. line, the outer the propinquitous subtermiual : fringes short. Secondaries 

 pale ochreous, terminally with indistinct darker shadings and a pale line per- 

 ceivable on internal margin. Beneath immaculate, pale ochreous. Expanse 

 21 m. m. 



Habitat. — New York ; Texas.
